Honghuang, my disciple ruined Journey to the West

Chapter 82 Wonderful Answer, Wonderful Question!
All of a sudden, outside the Xiangguo Temple, there was a lot of cursing and shouting!

All the people stared angrily, their eyes were fierce, and they wished they could rush up to the treasure platform, tear Fa Hai's Buddhist clothes off, and beat him to death with fists and feet.

"Hateful! That Monk Fahai's words are so wrong that he insulted Buddhism, he really deserves to be punished!" Guanyin's eyes glowed coldly, and his body was full of Buddha power. He wished he could show up immediately to punish him.

The Poor King Kong hurriedly said: "Master Guanyin, don't get angry, you don't need to care about the monks, dogs, and ants!"

"Right now, the people in this Tang capital are all angry, which means that the hearts of the people are towards our Buddhism. This is a good sign."

"I think, if you don't need to be punished by the great man later, the people of the Tang capital will attack him together. Even if you can't destroy Fahai, you will definitely hurt his muscles and bones, and tell him to get out of Chang'an City!"

Some of Tang Wang's courtiers also glared at Fa Hai with displeasure on their faces.

Some people really wanted to rush to the treasure platform, but they were stopped by the imperial army ordered by Tang Wang Li Shimin.

"Today is the opening day of the Water and Land Ceremony. Don't be presumptuous! Anyone who disturbs the order of the Ceremony will be severely punished!"

In addition, the guards armed with weapons were maintaining order, causing many people to return to their original places.

"Amitabha!"

"Fahai, you need to explain to the poor monk. How can a chicken be inferior to the Buddha? My Buddha is the yearning of the poor monk's heart. If you can't explain it, the poor monk will punish you for my Buddha even if you risk your life. The villain of the Buddha!"

In Chen Xuanzang's place, Fa Hai is no longer an eminent monk, he has completely become a villain.

Down below, the prince Li Chengqian in the crowd was also in a cold sweat. He didn't know what his senior brother was doing. Even though the Buddhist sect did many evil things behind the scenes, it was still a bright and upright Buddhist sect. You are humiliating the Buddha now. Isn't Qing waiting to find death?

"Senior brother, you are so, so stupid!"

But Chen Xuanzang who was sitting there was like a normal person, with a few smiles on his face, seeing the crowd below him, he smiled even more.

After a while, Fa Hai stopped smiling, stood up, and said loudly: "Since you want to know, the poor monk will explain."

Fahai looked at the people below the treasure platform and said loudly: "I just said that chickens are not inferior to Buddhas, but I never said that Buddhas are inferior to chickens! If you wait for this understanding, poor monks have nothing to do!"

"The poor monk just asks you, if you are trapped in a cave with a Buddhist scripture on the left and a chicken on the right, and you are hungry and hungry, do you choose to eat the chicken or chant The Buddhist scriptures??"

After asking this question, the people who were noisy and furious suddenly quieted down.

Confusion appeared on each face.

Face to face!

A man with the appearance of a scholar tapped a folding fan on his palm and asked the uncle next to him: "Uncle, how do you choose?"

The uncle thought for a while and replied, "If I'm trapped in a cave and I'm hungry, I should choose to eat that chicken."

"What about you, ma'am?"

The aunt said: "Buddhist scriptures are good, but don't go hungry, fill your stomach, and recite Buddhist scriptures again."

"What about you, brother?"

The brother said with a wry smile: "I also think it's more important to fill my belly!"

Almost all the common people said this, and Guanyin, who heard what he said, could be said to be a flame of Buddha, and was very angry.

"Sophistry! Sophistry!"

"The monk Fahai is clearly sophistrying, why he was trapped in a cave, why he wanted a chicken on the left and Buddhist scriptures on the right, these are absurd remarks, there is no reason at all."

But those people obviously chose chickens!

Seeing this, Chen Xuanzang looked at him coldly, and said in a deep voice, "In this way, Elder Fahai was once trapped in a cave, survived because of that chicken, and then entered my Buddhist sect?"

Fahai smiled and remained silent.

In fact, the reason why he entered Buddhism was really because of a chicken.

When he was young, Fahai’s parents suffered disasters and died of the plague. Fahai was the only one left. He lived in a cave, but was trapped in the cave because of the collapse of the mountain. At that time, there was a chicken in the cave, plus a book left by his parents Buddhist scriptures.

But the Buddhist scriptures did not save his parents. On the contrary, Fa Hai burned the Buddhist scriptures to make a fire, roasted them to eat, relieved the famine, and was rescued later, which saved his life.

The reason why I went to Jinshan Temple and became a monk was because of the chicken.

At that time, Fa Hai was still young, and he killed the chicken to save his life. He felt guilty for killing the chicken, so he went to the temple and became a monk, which was regarded as fulfilling his vow.

The people in the field and the officials of the imperial court looked at Fa Hai one after another.

After a while, it was Tang Wang Li Shimin who spoke first, and said with a smile: "What a chicken, such an answer is quite reasonable!"

Fahai bowed and saluted: "Amitabha!"

"Thank you Tang Wang for your praise!"

But Avalokitesvara in the dark already hated him to the core. That Fahai was obviously humiliating Buddhism, but he prevaricated in this way.

As for the group of Buddhas in the Great Hall of Great Heroes on Lingshan Mountain, all of them stared blankly, dumbfounded, with strange expressions.

On the contrary, those immortals in the Heavenly Court laughed and laughed, farting again and again.

From then on, the Buddha is not as good as the chicken. Such remarks were widely spread in that court, making people laugh and find it interesting.

"Elder Xuanzang, are you satisfied with my answer?"

"This is, my truth, not false."

Fa Hai still had a serious face, clasped his hands together, and looked harmless to humans and animals.

Chen Xuanzang snorted, and said, "Forget it, come and ask me, and I will answer your question correctly."

In the third round, it is stipulated that both parties can ask three questions each, and they must answer correctly, and the questions asked must be related to Buddha.

Fa Hai, who was smiling, had already thought about the question, and then asked: "Elder Xuanzang, have you ever liked a woman?"

As soon as this remark came out, the officials present, Tang Wang Guanyin and others all looked confused.

What's the problem?
How could such unbearable questions be asked in this solemn water and land ceremony of Buddhism?
And he was still asking a high-spirited monk! !

When Chen Xuanzang asked this question, his face suddenly became gloomy, his eyes were like knives, and he wished to pierce a hundred holes in Fa Hai's body.

When the elder Nazhide came out, he reprimanded him: "Fahai, why do you ask such unbearable questions? We eminent monks specialize in Buddhism and do not have sexual relations between men and women. There are strict regulations in the precepts that monks must not break the precept of sex and do not commit adultery. !"

"This is one of the five precepts, even the novice novice knows it, don't you know?"

"Elder Xuanzang is an eminent monk who has achieved Taoism and has a good reputation. How do you ask such a question of gnashing your teeth?"

"What's more, these questions have nothing to do with my Buddhism and Dharma, so it's unbearable to ask!!"

Elder Zhide took the lead, and other eminent monks reprimanded him one after another, with angry faces.

This time, many people were quiet instead, standing silently watching the fun.

This kind of excitement, happening at the Water and Land Ceremony, wouldn't it be very lively, and you won't miss it if you miss it.

Must watch!
Everyone come and see!
Different from the angry monks, Fa Hai looked like a normal person with a calm face.

He said with a smile: "Elder Zhide has said that love between men and women is not allowed in my monks and Buddhas, and it is one of the five precepts."

"Since it is one of the five precepts, it has something to do with the Buddha. After all, it is the clear rules set by the Buddhist sect."

"Could it be possible, you and the monks feel that this kind of catastrophe and the precept of not committing adultery should not be there?"

When those words came out, Elder Zhide was stunned by what he said, his white beard curled up, his face flushed, and he was speechless for a moment.

The other monks were about to argue with Fahai, but they were suppressed by Chen Xuanzang.

Chen Xuanzang proclaimed the Buddha's name, with a peaceful face, and said in a gentle voice: "Since Elder Fa Hai asked this question, the poor monk answered it!"

Then, looking around, Chen Xuanzang said calmly and indifferently: "The poor monk has never liked any woman. The poor monk is a monk who cultivates and worships the Buddha. All the people in the world!"

As soon as this remark came out, the people applauded one after another, and there was an endless stream of clapping and approving voices.

Chen Xuanzang at this moment is the great Zen master in their eyes.

It seems to be the guide for the future believers to enter Buddhism.
